Mycostilla is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. The type and only species, Mycostilla vermiformis, forms effused, gelatinous, crystalline or net-like basidiocarps (fruit bodies) on fallen conifer wood in Europe.[1] The species was formerly placed in Stypella,[2] but the latter genus is of uncertain disposition and appears unrelated to the Auriculariales.[1] Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, distinguishes Mycostilla from the morphologically similar genus Stypellopsis.[1]
